Your Guide to EV Charging in Latvia

Latvia has 94 public charging points, with 9 capable of 150 kW or more for faster charging. Most drivers will find charging options in larger towns. This guide covers what to expect, from operators to connectors.

Latvia's public charging infrastructure includes 94 points according to our database. Of these, 9 offer charging speeds of 150 kW or higher, and 79 fall within the 50-149 kW range. This provides a decent network, particularly in urban areas. Riga leads with 7 public charging points, followed closely by Rīga with 5. Other towns like Baloži (4), Talsi (2), and Ventspils (2) also have options.

Most networks use the Type 2 connector for AC charging, which is standard across Europe. For DC fast charging, the CCS Combo 2 connector is prevalent. CHAdeMO connectors are less common. Drivers can expect to encounter various operators, from local utility companies to private charging providers. Pricing structures vary, but generally, DC fast charging will cost more per kWh than slower AC charging. Home charging rates are typically lower than public charging. Specific pricing details are best checked with individual network providers, as rates can fluctuate. There are no specific national incentives for EV charging currently highlighted in our records, so drivers should research local schemes or network-specific promotions. For foreign drivers, carrying a universal adapter or ensuring your charging app has broad coverage across European networks is advisable. Always check the connector type before arriving at a station.
